Can you sue your ex boyfriend after paid off a loan you cosigned for him and you paid it off now?

You can check with a lawyer, but I will guess probably not. Because you co-signed for the loan, you were legally obligated to pay it off if your ex-boyfriend could not or did not. Therefore, you assumed the risk of having to pay the loan and because of that probably cannot sue your ex-boyfriend for leaving you on the hook for it.
